Nooo, the Tone! My beautiful, beautiful Tone! Look at those scuff marks - dammit, GH, the resale value just tanked. You'll be hearing from my insurance company!

Unlike Montgomery, mailmen will actually deliver.

The final production version would remove all the interior guns, ammo, seats, etc., strap an armed 500lb bomb on the end of the unfinished 105mm barrel, and remove the bottom of the tank entirely. The gas(lol what gas)-powered engine is replaced by 50 dudes crammed in there with their feet sticking out the bottom who would ram into Shermans by running the tank forwards Flintstone-style. Wait, sorry, 51 guys - one guy carries bongos for the "wacky music while they run in place" start up.

I don't know if it's Matrix or all grog games, but they have a real hard-on for never showing their internal formulas to the players. WitP has a decade+ of play, but only extensive sandbox theorycrafting and repetition by the players shows anything about how the game determimes who wins a battle. There's a constant stream of questions over the years about "why didn't my planes fly" or "how much do HQs help" and any number of similar questions that could have been answered easily by developers just telling people the numbers the game that they bought and paid a shitload of money for & that oh btw keeps your ultra-niche nerd software company alive uses. But nope! Got too much to do making sure every pixelman fires his pixelbullets in exact order even though it's behind the UI wall so you'll never see it! It's also a pretty good example of precision vs accuracy - every gun a unit historically had is listed, every weapon on a plane or ship is in the db, even individual pilots having to be assigned to individual planes. Buuuuut let's also have weird secret battle formulae to determine what those guns/weapons/pilots actually do and then stuff in a bizarre amorphous logistics scheme where bullets and beans and bandages and baviation fuel can be distilled from this generic supply beige lump that maaay be delivered to your troops, maaaybe not, no you can't tell some trucks to explicitly deliver supplies to somewhere what are you crazy? Now go and make sure Lt. Schmuckatelli is flying that T-26 trainer on lowNavB for three months so you can get his defense score past 51 but not four months or you'll miss the chance to switch him to the P-3729b+ when it comes online for two weeks only in Sept 43! Don't you know how to FIGHT? TL;DR: Forget it Jake, it's Grognard-town.
